Yes it's off.
If crank is at TDC and other side is right, you need to break loose the driver's side pulley, so it can turn on tapered spindle and hand turn the intake cam (wrench on hex end, opposite chain end) to line up the dots...then re-torque the pulley bolt...you're back in time.

Default Timing Belt Misfires!

No wonder I kept throwing misfire codes...I knew this was it but the dealer denied from the day it was done. Do you guys know how much time I've spent trying to figure out my rough running and misfire codes, jeez! Thanks for the confirmation!

Default rough idle,, no longer.

I pictured having the same problem. Changed the plugs and the problem went away. Never had any codes and it ran like a Greyhound... just plugs.
